I'm up for that! What would really be great is if we could get with the USFS and show them that we are responsible "stake holders". Get the word out and get some positive PR instead of all the negative stuff.

I'm all for that idea. Once you cross the top and get to the point where the Appalachian Trail crosses,if you turn to the left and head towards Helen couple miles down the road a Huge tree has fallen across the road. At some point it was cut in two and somewhat pushed to the side. The problem is the way you go around what is left of the tree,it's creating a big depression off the side of the road and will most likely become a big mud hole or possibly wash the road out at some point. I'm sure the USFS would be thankful of any help at all.

How big of a rig do you need to get up there

Not big at all. These are forest service roads. The biggest obstacle is the ruts and downed trees. This area has been hit hard in the last few years with at least two tornadoes and several bad storms.
Most stock 4x4 vehicles can make it as long as you are smart.
